“…Our results of the negative correlation between work-family conflict and overall well-being are consistent with previous studies conducted among nurse staffs in various populations (Burke & Greenglass, 1999;Fang, 2017;Ghislieri et al, 2017;Gipson-Jones, 2009;Makola et al, 2015;Neto et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2012). Compared with the average scores of 71.0 ± 18.0 for the overall well-being and 49.3 ± 10.8 for the work-family conflict that were reported in two previous studies from China (Ding et al, 2017;Mu, Chen, & Zhang, 2016), the relatively higher overall well-being (81.2 ± 10.9) and lower work-family conflict (39.1 ± 10.3) scores have been reported in the current study.…”

“…Portugal had similar results, showing that strain-based conflict, but not time-based conflict, was predictive of employee well-being (Neto et al, 2016). This observation indicated that (a) the quality of time spent with family is more important than the quantity of time and that (b) stress at work could be key targets for the further improvement of overall well-being.…”

Due to the rapid economic development in China, the burden of chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, has skyrocketed at an alarming rate (Hu & Jia, 2018). Together with the emerging ageing population, the growing demands of medical care have posed significant challenges to medical providers in China (Mocan, Tekin, & Zax, 2004). Moreover, China has experienced acute shortages in the number of health care professionals in recent years, especially nurses (Wu, Zhao, & Ye, 2016). In 2013, there were 2.05 nurses per 1,000 people in China, which is below the global average of 2.86 (Wu et al., 2016). As frontline caregivers, nurses have extensive duties in clinical practice, which involve strenuous shifts, physical labour and emotional labour. Nurses have a unique position that requires caregiving, planning, management, educating and coordinating. Aside from work, nurses also have important roles in their families as children, spouses and parents when they get home. Work and family are the two priorities of life, and if a person does not effectively coordinate the association between them, the two priorities will become conflicting. Work-family conflict means that work and family roles are incompatible. Managing both the roles at the same time is difficult. There are two kinds of work-family conflict situations: (a) work interfering with family and (b) family interfering

“…Additionally, two meta-analyses have documented small to medium effect sizes between work–family conflict and health or well-being ( Allen et al, 2000 ; Mesmer-Magnus and Viswesvaran, 2005 ). Neto et al (2016) have used COR to analyze the development of WFC over time and have found that work–family conflict at Time One and Time Two decreased the employee psychological well-being at Time Two and Time Three, respectively. Therefore, we could infer the following:…”

After the implementation of the universal two-child policy in 2016, more and more working women have found themselves caught in the dilemma of whether to raise a baby or be promoted, which exacerbates work–family conflicts among Chinese women. Few studies have examined the mediating effect of negative affect. The present study combined the conservation of resources model and affective events theory to examine the sequential mediating effect of negative affect and perceived stress in the relationship between work–family conflict and mental health. A valid sample of 351 full-time Chinese female employees was recruited in this study, and participants voluntarily answered online questionnaires. Pearson correlation analysis, structural equation modeling, and multiple mediation analysis were used to examine the relationships between work–family conflict, negative affect, perceived stress, and mental health in full-time female employees. We found that women’s perceptions of both work-to-family conflict and family-to-work conflict were significant negatively related to mental health. Additionally, the results showed that negative affect and perceived stress were negatively correlated with mental health. The 95% confidence intervals indicated the sequential mediating effect of negative affect and stress in the relationship between work–family conflict and mental health was significant, which supported the hypothesized sequential mediation model. The findings suggest that work–family conflicts affected the level of self-reported mental health, and this relationship functioned through the two sequential mediators of negative affect and perceived stress.

“…For example, high levels of the WFC have been found to be associated with increased levels of metabolic syndrome in younger workers, in addition to shortened hours of sleep ( Berkman et al, 2015 ). Other stress-related outcomes that have been observed to be WFC outcomes are anxiety ( Frone, 2000 ), substance abuse ( Frone, 2000 ), psychological ill-being ( Neto et al, 2016 ), and poor perceived health ( Carvalho and Chambel, 2016 ).…”

Job characteristics are important to work-family conflict (WFC). Additionally, is well established that WFC has a negative impact on mental health. As such, this research aims to examine the role of WFC as a mechanism that explains the relationship between job characteristics (i.e., those establishing by the Job Demands-Control-Support Model) and workers’ mental health. Moreover, based on gender inequalities in work and non-work roles, this study analyzed gender as moderator of this mediation. Specifically, the relationship between job characteristics and WFC and the relationship between WFC and mental health could be stronger for women than for men. With a sample of 254 workers from a Portuguese services company, (61% males), and based on a multiple-group analysis, the results indicated that the WFC mediates the relationship between job characteristics (i.e., job demands and job control) and mental health. It was reinforced that job demands and lack of control could contribute to employees’ stress and, once individual’ energy was drained, the WFC could emerge. Ultimately, may be due to the presence of this conflict that individuals mental health’ is negatively affected. Contrary to our expectations, this relationship is not conditioned by gender (Z-scores were non-significant). The study results have implications for human resource management, enhancing the knowledge on the relationship between the WFC and workers’ mental health.
